Etymology

1. 1611, perhaps Scand., probably echoic, original sense was "hitting" then of "swelling from being hit." Also has a long association with obs. bum "to make a booming noise," which influenced surviving senses like bumper crop, for something full to the brim. Bumpers first recorded 1839, on railroad cars; 1926 on automobiles. To bump into "meet" is from 1880s; to bump off "kill" is 1908 in underworld slang.
2. From Early Modern English bump (“a shock, blow from a collision”), probably of North Germanic origin; compare Danish bump (“a thump”), Danish bumpe (“to thump”), Old Danish bumpe (“to strike with a clenched fist”), all probably of imitative origin.
3. Apparently related to Middle English bumben, bummen (“to make a hollow noise”), Dutch bommen (“to hum, buzz”), German Low German bumsen (“to bump, push”), German bummen (“to hum, buzz”), Icelandic bumba (“drum”). More at bum, bumble. Compare also bomb. See: Danish 'bumpe', Dutch 'bommen', German, old spelling 'bummen', Icelandic 'bumba'.

The wharf is some distance from the city. There is nobody down here; and one or two dull lamps upon [...] (American Notes for General Circulation)
[...] merriment in the water, until the arrival of the railway train, for whose final contribution to our stock of passengers, our departure was alone deferred.
